Up for sale, a 1989 Fender Stratocaster ‘72 vintage reissue model ST72-500 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Crafted at the Fujigen factory during the golden age of Fender Japan production, this early “Made in Japan” Stratocaster was made exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside its country of origin.
Weighing 8lbs 3oz, tonewoods include an ash body and a one-piece maple neck. The trio of single coils deliver classic Strat tonalities at each position on the five-way pickup selector switch. The neck pickup has a bell-like chime and warmth, the bridge position yields sparkling twang, and the “in-between” positions have a hollow quack. This Stratocaster ST72-55 benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
